MULTI-ROOM AUDIO & VIDEO
Boom! Shake the room with these home entertainers

One of our very favourite things about Applecompatible smart home technology is how entertaining it is – and we mean that literally. Being able to stream music from our Mac, iPad or iPhone to your home hi-fi or to have different music playing in different rooms is a real boon for music lovers, and being able to AirPlay video from your iPhone or mirror your iPad’s screen when you’re gaming is utterly effortless on AirPlay-enabled TVs.
As you’d expect, while there are some great options here from third-party manufacturers, Apple’s own hardware is often the easiest to set up and use with the other Apple hardware you have at home; it’s really easy to stream to a set of HomePods or send different songs from Apple Music to HomePod minis scattered around your home. And we’re also big fans of the Apple TV 4K, which has a much nicer interface than most TV apps and which brings the power of Siri and iCloud to your home entertainment setup.
